I missed seeing Kristie too . . . by the time I thought about it, it was 5:30. Boo! And I forgot all about my poor man's cruise that day (my kids think I'm nuts)! But, its 4:30 now - better go pull out the appetizers!

Hi Ellen
Just landed back in the UK yesterday following our 2 week WDW and DCL trip
On my, I am missing the Fantasy in the worst possible way!!
Loved the Eastern itinerary!
Urgh, I need October to come around fast!
You are still double dipping right?
Great pics from St Martiin by the way
Just wow on the mega planes and yachts. Who lives like that?! I'd be willing to give it a whirl and report back.
You are a TROOPER!!
That water is so gorgeous. What a truly wonderful day!
Awesome updates Ellen the scenery, houses boats etc were fantastic!! Love that flavorful water , had me come lemon cucumber at The F&G Show in May and it was surprisingly delish!!!
Great update. Sorry that you didn't get one last guavaberry cocktail before leaving the island.
That has to be the best NYE ever!

Hello - it was pouring during sail away so there was not much to see. I did go out for a minute as we passed Fishlips and waved. We loved the big balcony 9674.
I am so, so sorry! And I know exactly what you mean- unfortunately. I will say a prayer for the kids- amazing how resilient kids can be-
That's weird! What time of year were you there? The water was really pretty there, as well as the island- so much nicer than the Gang graffiti we saw instead on our last trip here! And yea- that would be the life!
We were there the first part of December. The water for the snorkel was a little murky, but it was one of those "50 other people" experiences because they brought several small boats out and sent all of the groups together There were so many kids kicking up the sand and kicking us in the face, we just decided to call it quits but it was all good. Jim sat and planned his retirement running a little rum shack on the island.
Thank you for the prayers
You are welcome-
Sorry you weren't able to get another Guavaberry colada, that's crazy they wouldn't have another blender. That Epic is a Monster, isn't it?
The Epic was beyond huge. My friends who have been did not enjoy her- they said it is very hard to get from one place to another, too chopped up.
The different infused waters looked good. When we were on our NCL Gem cruise they did things like that too, with iced water and juice and they had music playing and a small dance party on the pier, and in San Juan they had the cool moist cloths for us too (surprising they didn't have those at other ports).
Yes, I felt very blessed he picked me! So did you release your turtle (HOW AMAZING!!) on Tintamare or Pinel Island?

Island time. Sorry you missed out on the guava berry drink. Your day looks amazing! Nice find on the tour
Thanks! It was a great day!
They operate on "Island time" around here in a large city. Everywhere you go, they are out of that, can't do it today, might do it later, etc.
Your day in St Maarten looks absolutely great. I will have to check them out if/when I go again. We did a Bernard's tour last time and although they did a great job and I liked it, it was kind of a tiring day going here and there. It would be nice to have some time on a smaller boat and really see the island!
I always think the day on a smaller boat is the best day- just a different perspective than being on land the whole time. And you'll be back. No doubt!
NYE looks amazing!!! What a fun night. You all look lovely in your clothes. Too funny about Tyler getting a NYE smooch - way to go, buddy! He already knows the ladies love a man in a suit!
LOVE all the details DCL put into your New Year's Eve! How great is that? I hope I get to experience it some day.
Sounds like a nice plan to me, having a relaxing day on the boat.
It was sooooo nice to do nothing, really.
What is up with that bartender?? 20-30 minutes and not being served??? Jeez that is unacceptable. Glad you found someone who could manage to mix and pour drinks in a timely manner!!
What fun to see in the NY on the Fantasy
Looks like you had a blast!
Ah a day lounging on the ship with room service at your disposal - total bliss
